I have just recently delved into building a desktop, and this is what I am thinking so far. I was just wodnering if anyone sees compatability issues, or just bad choices period. I don't need a hardcore gaming pc, but I want to play relatively recent games.
Hard drive: Western Digital Caviar SE 500GB SATA...maybe just 250
MOBO: ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe
Processor: AMD athlon 64x2 5000+ AM2
ASUS EN8800GT GeForce (either 512 or 1GB...more than likely just the 512)...possibly 2 for dual video cards
Optical Drive: Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7190S 20x DVD+/- | RW
Case: NZXT Apollo (Black)..came with free 550W power supply
OS: Vista Ultimate (32-bit)
as far as sound, I want something 5.1...any suggestions?
I know I need RAM, a monitor, etc. I only really care what people think of the 'real' components. Comments are appreciated...as long as it's kept nice.
Thanks!
